The Groton Avery Clan

MRS. CATHERINE HITCHCOCK TILDEN AVERY

The Eighth Generation 925

of the Groton Avery clan (see title page and preface). Mr.
Avery is of unmixed New England ancestry; through his mother,
he is a descendant of two "Mayflower" Pilgrims, Stephen
Hopkins and his dau., Constance, and of Thomas Dudley, the
second governor of the colony of Massachusetts Bay. Early in
1861, he enlisted as a private in the 4th Mich. vol. inf., and, at
the end of the war was mustered out as sergeant-major of the
11th Mich. vol. cavalry. He is, of course, a member of the
Grand Army of the Republic. He was graduated from the
University of Michigan in 1871. He is a member of the Phi
Beta Kappa society and has received the academic degrees of
Ph. D., LL. D., and D. C. L. He is a Knight Templar and a
32 Mason, a Son of the American Revolution, a member of the
Zeta Psi (college) fraternity, and of many historical and scien-
tific societies, and has served one term in the city council of
Cleveland and four years in the state senate of Ohio. He is the
author of the "Avery Physical Science Series" of text-books
(physics a^d chemistry) published by the American Book Com-
pany, and of Avery's "History of the United States and its
People" (16 octavo volumes), of which seven volumes have been
published (1911) by the BurrowTs Brothers Company of Cleve-
land, 0. For further particulars, see Sweet's "The Averys of
Groton" (pages iv, 484 and 496-502), "Who's Who in Amer-
ica," and other biographical cyclopaedias. Mr. Avery desires
to assure the members of the clan that his wife is a much
more able genealogist than he is and that to her they owe
the successful solution of many puzzling problems relating to
their ancestry. She has also been untiring in her efforts to make
these volumes as nearly complete and accurate as possible. For
further particulars concerning her, see "Who's Who in America."
They have no children. Residence, Cleveland, Ohio.

3114. Charles Hedding* Avery {Caspar Hugh7, Amos
Walker6, Abraham5, William4, John/-, James2, Christopher1) was
b. Feb. 15, 1852, at Monroe, Mich.; m. Oct. 22, 1878, at
Ithaca, N. Y., Ada Alphonson Boys, dau. of Almon Ives and
Charlotte (Covert) Boys. She was b. March 29, 1857, at Ithaca,
N. Y. After graduation by the Monroe High School, Mr. Avery
entered Cornell University. The sudden death of his father
forced him to leave college and, in December, 1873, he began the
study of law at Buffalo, N. Y., where he soon became managing
clerk for Lewis and Gurney who had the largest general practice
of any law firm in the western part of the state. He was
admitted to the bar in January, 1877. He began his career as a
popular political speaker in the presidential campaign of 1876
and was soon made deputy county clerk. In 1881, he was the
regular Republican candidate to represent his district in the
state legislature, but the political upheaval of that year blasted
his ambition. He has represented his ward (the wealthiest in
the city) in the board of aldermen and has served several terms
as a member of the Erie County Republican executive committee.
He is now cashier in the office of the Treasurer of the city of
Buffalo. He knows how to make friends and to hold them. At
one noon-day function it was announced that "Avery knows
everyone in Buffalo except those who came in on the 11 :30
train." He is a member of the Buffalo Historical Society, the
Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences, and the Erie County Bar
Association. He is also a member of the Masonic fraternity,
and of the B. P. 0. E. ; he is a past-master of De Molay Lodge,

u

The Eighth Generation 927

No. 498, F. & A. M., and was appointed upon the staff of the
grand master of the state of New York. He has been grand
president (New York state) of the Order of the Iroquois, was
twice unanimously elected as grand regent (New York state)
of the Royal Arcanum, and was twice a member of the supreme
council of that order. Many of his addresses have been pub-
lished and, in fraternal circles, made use of as campaign docu-
ments. Politics always had a fascination for him, and, while in
national matters a strong partisan, his action in civic affairs
is regulated more by his own judgment than by any stamp of
party approval or regularity. In 1893, the firm of Avery and
Murphy, attorneys and counsellors at law, was formed. An
illness that continued for a long period necessitated a dissolu-
tion of the firm. Subsequently, Mr. Avery became managing
attorney for the well-known law firm of Bissell, Sicard, Bissell
and Cary, an association that was continued until the dissolution
of the firm. This firm was the successor to that of Cleveland,
Bissell & Sicard, of which Grover Cleveland was the head. Resi-

The ancestry of Juliet Eliza1' Avery, and of all the other
descendants of her grandfather, Aaron7 Avery, runs back to
Capt. James- Avery by a triple line. First is the line printed
at the head of this record. The second runs back through
Ellsworth* (who did not die unmarried as stated in our record
of his father's family) and through Aaron7 who married Anne
Kinne. Anne Kinne was the daughter of the Rev. Aaron Kinne
who married Anne Morgan, as recorded on page 386. Anne
Morgan was the daughter of Solomon Morgan who married
Mary Walworth (or Walsworth), as recorded on page 153.
Mary Walworth was the daughter of William Walworth who
married Mary4 Avery (No. 46). Mary4 Avery was the daughter
of Samuel3 Avery who married Susannah Palmes. As to the
third ancestral line, the Solomon Morgan wrho married Mary
Walworth was the seventh child of William Morgan who married
Margaret4 Avery, as recorded on pages 119 and 120. Margaret*
Avery was the daughter of James:: Avery. The three lines unite
in Capt. James- Avery, the father of James; Avery and of
Samuel" Avery. It is said that the Rev. Aaron Kinne above
mentioned was acting chaplain at Fort Griswold at the time of
the massacre in 1781. See page 374.
